The Extend To tool will extend a segment to a surface. The operative word here being Segment and it needs to intersect with the plane of the surface. If you could provide an image of what you are trying to do it would help the answers

Hi All,
I am trying to create a simple 24" x 36" pdf from FZ 8.6. on a MBP running Mac OS X.
Went into Pages to create a custom sized sheet (24 x 36) and then came back into FZ to go through the print process to create the pdf. Unfortunately the custom sheet sizes are greyed out.
To create pdf from Model I am doing the following:
1) Select PRINT > PRINT SETTINGS
2) Then pull down MENU for PAPER SIZE .
It is here where I usually see my paper sizes for pdf files. I select a paper save and hit SAVE.
My process is now limited to paper sizes in my local printer!!!
Any thoughts how to do this simple process of how to make and select a custom paper size for making PDF's?
Thanks
Kim

An interesting idea. The logistics may be a problem as users are spread around the globe. Maybe ADS can hold I at their headquarters thus keeping costs down. If you do as suggested by Justin, hold it with an Architectural conference, you will attract mostly architects. I think FZ is used more widely as it is such a powerful 3D modeler.

Hugo,
We got into this discussion last year but due to time constraints I dropped the ball.
I agree with the points you make above.
One day if ADS could set up a video conference where we could all share our work processes, I would love to participate.

Thanks FZnoob, I have now updated to the latest build. The problems I was having with version 10017 not repeating.
But I have found that build 10027 takes longer to open a file but once the file is open all is okay.
Running on iMac 5K, 27 inch late 2015 with 4GHz Intel core i7, high sierra version 10.13.3

Having lots of the buggy problems mentioned in this discussion. Looked at my version number and saw that it is the buggy one (build 10017). So went to download page and downloaded latest update. For some stupid reason the newly updated FZ file will not open???
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks

I have made a few annotations in the modeling component of FZ but when they are brought through to the Layout file the text is converted to many small hash marks.
Am I doing something wrong or is text not transferable from modeling to layout?

Hi Dubi,
Great to hear you are running a maker space. I don't know of any curriculum out there for teaching the latest FZ but you may be able to put something together using the FZ tutorials online. Also the curriculum is going to be dependent on what the students are going to want to use FZ for. Being a maker space, I suspect the modeling needs could vary. The good thing about FZ is that it can cater to many different needs .
Good luck with your course!

I find that the VRay render window which insists on sitting on top of all other windows even if Form Z is not the app in use, creates a real estate problem on my screen. Is there a setting whereby one can push the rendering window into the background?
Thanks
